Hey Brad, the European experiment is over. Your team is soft as !!!!. When do we start talking if Brad is the guy. I promise you we are not a 2nd weekend team

Did anyone expect a different result? With our all Adriatic team, we are slow and unathletic. Despite the revisionist history, Brad basically ran off MJ in favor of a slow, bad three point shooter. But for the surprise emergence of KW, this season could have been a disaster.

I will let others dissect the coaching, but there will be plenty of that, and most of us already know what those weaknesses are, because they are always the same.

But regarding winning big games against more athletic teams, we are not built for that. We are nothing more than bum-slayers.

Thanks to Brad for making us relevant again, but he has too many weaknesses for us to ever be better than we’ve shown the last few years. Many of you will be happy with that, but as for me, I wanted to fire Bruce when he didn’t turn the best team in the country into a top five recruiting class.

Odds on Brad starting presser with "Give all the credit to them..."?
At least 70-30.
At home. Supposedly ranked 10th. 6 days to prepare. No reported injuries. Blown out.
No accountability.

You could see this game coming 10 miles away. Yet, all I heard pre game was you're stupid if you think Michigan wins this convincingly.

There were still people that legitimately thought we deserved a 1-seed leading up to this game. We lost to UConn and Michigan. Do we have to lose to Duke and Arizona to shut the door or is enough, enough?

There’s still a lot of basketball left, and I like them as people — but at what point do you reconsider bringing the Ivisic brothers back…
You don’t. I think the Euro strategy needs to die a painful death if Brad is serious about contending for national titles, which I’m not 100% sure he is.

Well it was good at least to see us wake up and start playing with some urgency as soon as the game was unwinnable.

You prioritized Ben Humrichous in 2024 (😂 😂 😂 ) and Tomislav Ivisic (😂 ) in 2025 over Morez Johnson
Is this really true though? Didn't insiders say he'd signed a deal and been promised he'd start? And by the end of last season Morez was getting more minutes than Ben, except for games where he got in foul trouble, so again, don't think this rings true.

And I am huge Ben fan this year … Off the bench … In this role …

The exact role he should’ve had all along … He’s been great in this role …

No longer think this is an exceptionally strong 7-8 teams. But this really seems like Arizona, Duke, Michigan and everyone else. Maybe Florida sneaks in.

Seems to be a clear tier gap

We should be able to make the SW16...After that it will be a struggle..
